Check the references at the end of the article. Setting up a bridging
firewall, at least on OpenBSD, is pretty easy because it's already
detailed in their FAQ. Thus I didn't request that the author make this
article more detailed. There is equally good documentation for FreeBSD,
and you can also configure one of these transparent firewalls with Solaris
or others -- but make sure your adapters will run in promiscuous mode or
it won't work.

Also, you will still want to read the man page for your operating system's
packet filter (pf in my own case) if you are unsure of anything in the
FAQ. Good luck.
